Re: [Scidvspc-users] Programming - SCID and .NET‏

[John S. <che...@ho...>]

Thank you Steven,http://scid.sourceforge.net/doc/progref.html in combination with  "tcscid" is what I have been using so far on my windows machine.
Yeah, I have noticed that the command reference is out of date in a few places, but generally searching through the scid code base gives clues to what the right flags are.
There was a message about compiling scid on windows on one of the mailing lists from a year or two ago, but the link to the visual studio solution was dead.
I have not yet had a chance to create one myself and if anyone has it and is willing to share, that would be much appreciated.
